I have hens and will be harvesting the older layers eventually. Since I have never done it before, your instructions are invaluable. Plus, I feel encouraged. My fear is not about killing, but about losing confidence mid-process, and deciding to throw everything out. I would hate that.

It isn't like salsa at all really, although it does have green tomatoes and green peppers in it. It is sweet and we eat it especially on soup bean type beans but also maybe with a roast beef (or deer or goat) and it especially goes well with dried green beans (leather britches or shuckey's we call them).<BR/><BR/>But I'm remember a scene CGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04542303804886924280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7977441.post-49088392756622700062007-09-20T22:43:00.000-04:002007-09-20T22:43:00.000-04:00Is it like Mufallatta?

Fried Green Tomatoes. It is truly a wonderful film.<BR/><BR/>And on technique, I'll tell you it is a trick. Best to do tomatoes without a core, sliced thick, dunk them in egg/milk, batter (flour, masa, seasoning), and fry in oil.

I am loathe to pick them and let them try to ripen in the window but they're just hanging out there being green. They got planted in the lower part of the garden which has less topsoil and more clay. Or it's just not a good year, not sure.

But the Old World beans, the Windsor broad beans, they went brown and shrunken and soft just when they were getting full. Same thing last year. I was hoping to let them dry, but now I'm thinking maybe I have to pick them green here.arcolaurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09448256908335690710noreply@blogger.com
